It would be more appropriate to store state in ~/.local/state than ~/.config

[bentorkington]

Describe the bug
basilk stores its app state in XDG_CONFIG_HOME instead of XDG_STATE_HOME, which would be more appropriate

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start the app, create a task

Expected behavior
Task data is stored in ~/.local/state/baslik

Additional context
Task data is store in ~/.config

in dirs lingo, this is state_dir: (https://docs.rs/dirs/5.0.1/dirs/fn.state_dir.html)

Agree

Agreed, thanks! About the suggestion: what's the distinction between ~/.local/state and ~/.local/share ?
I'm looking at the dirs documentation for state_dir and see it only mentions a path for Linux. Is there a default for other operating systems, or will I need to handle them specifically, maybe with a switch case?

This page might help: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/XDG/Base_Directories

Indeed, ~/.local/share may be a better choice than ~/.local/state.

I suspect the dirs documentation is simply incomplete regarding paths, and as long as you're using the dirs module correctly it'll get it right.

Great, I'll try to do some tests
